Foxm1 overexpression improved cardiac function and reduced infarction after MI. (a) Experimental design. (b) and (c) Echocardiographic measurements of EF and FS of MI + Luc and MI + Foxm1 mice at 3 days and 28 days after MI. *, P < .05, n = 6. (d) Representative heart cross sections stained with Masson's trichrome staining. Scale bar: 1 mm. (e) Quantitative analysis of infarct size expressed as percentage of left ventricle. **, P < .01, n = 6. All samples were analyzed by two tailed unpaired student's t-test. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM.
